“Where?”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Republic of West4 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, compulsory military service, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-working, cynical population of 5.418 billion West4ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 33.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The West4ian economy, worth 247 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 45,657 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Business is adjusting to new gender equality policies in the workplace, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, well-off serial killers write monthly checks to avoid jail time, and evenings at university debating societies often end with everyone acknowledging both sides may well be right. Crime is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. West4's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

West4 is ranked 146,270^th in the world and 1^st in Mole Rats for Safest, scoring 61.71 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
